    The Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Bureau of Elevator Safety hereby gives notice:

    On May 13, 2015, the Division issued an order. The Final Order was in response to a Petition for a temporary Variance from Embassy Suites Tampa Airport/Westshore, filed April 22, 2015, and advertised on April 24, 2015 in Vol. 41, No. 80, of the Florida Administrative Register. No comments were received in response to the petition. The Final Order on the Petition for Variance grants the Petitioner a variance from Rule 3.11.3 ASME A17.3, 1996 edition, as adopted by paragraph 61C-5.001(1)(a), F.A.C., that requires upgrading the elevators with firefighters’ emergency operations because the Petitioner has demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met and that Petitioner would suffer a substantial hardship if required to comply with this rule (VW2015-101).
